[Sans-Culotte]

Lott was an idiot. It is unfortunate that Republicans, like Caesar's wife, are held to a higher standard, but we are. Since the press and most "black leaders" always refer to us as racists right off the bat, we have to start every conversation by explaining that we are not racists. Unfair, yes, but true.

Had Lott merely offered a toast to a long-time colleague, and all-round "helluva guy", all would have been well. But he specifically paid tribute to Thurmond's segregationalist campaign. Hell, if he was gonna pat himself and his state on the back for voting Dixiecrat, he may as well as used the 'n' word (and I don't mean 'niggardly') as well!.

Yes Lott was pretty dumb..maybe had a little too much under his belt?

But there is something to the article..however I think his conclusion is wrong. All this phony offense taken is making whites mad at the professional complainers (i.e. democrats).
